“Lovely cottage with everything you need.”

No wifi due to issue with telephone pole which will hopefully be resolved in future but this was mentioned when booking so not an issue.

“Owl cottage is very clean and all to an extremely high standard.”

We were very comfortable. Great location for walks and getting the bus to other Peak District villages. We had a fantastic holiday, would definitely go back.

“Owl Cottage really exceeded our expectations from the lovely little notes describing things to the very comfortable furnishings, it really is a beautiful cottage.”

The holiday was also enhanced by Clare and Bernard who was always happy to help and go out of their way to ensure you have everything you need for a memorable stay. We have stayed in many holiday rentals and this is one of the best, we will be back in the future.

“We stayed nearly 4 weeks in this cottage and it was so comfortable and well equipped we were sorry to leave it.”

The owners had thought of everything and we were very warm and cosy in the cold weather we had and then able to enjoy the patio during the lovely hot bank holiday weekend at Easter. Fantastic walks on doorstep, pubs and cafes and good bus service to Bakewell and Buxton if don’t want to drive. Dog was well catered for with outside shower (with hot and cold water), dog towels and treats. We would love to return sometime.

“Fabulous cottage in the great little village of Tideswell.”

Extremely comfortable, clean and lots of nice touches from the owners. Dog friendly. Great log burner. I would definitely return and recommend.

“The cottage was very clean and comfortable and the owners have done everything possible to ensure their quests were looked after.”

There were so many little touches - eg. lighting, instructions and notes explaining everything, a welcome pack, good towels and bedding. Dog owners would appreciate the dog bed, treats, dog towels etc. although we had taken our own.
The cottage was extremely well appointed and we could not think of a single thing that was missing. All in all, excellent.

“This is a fabulous prooerty in an excellent location.”

The attention to detail is second to none. When the internet company sort out the Wifi, it will be perfect. We will definitely visit again

“What a cottage should be , they thought of everything loved it”

- Mr Thorpe, March 2019

“Absolutely stunning place to stay.”

Took my partner and 7 month old daughter there as a first family holiday and couldn't have chosen a better place. Beautifully maintained, so many boxes ticked and even more I would never have thought of!
Had the great fortune to actually meet the owners as we were leaving and couldn't have talked to nicer people. They even were gracious enough to send a forgotten item through to us!
Fully intending to book again for our mini-moon after our wedding!!!
Couldn't recommend highly enough!!!

“The cottage was perfect in every way and Sykes made the booking experience quick, easy, hassle free with clear terms and condtions.”

Sykes has never let us down with a bad cottage yet over the last 10 years or more we have booked with them. We have stayed in cottages in Wales, North Yorkshire coastline, Lake District and Derbyshire and they have always been the perfect holiday cottage making our family time extra special. Thank you Sykes highly recommend to our family & friends.

“Our few days at Owl Cottage were just perfect.”

A real home from home with every detail thought of. The current lack of WiFi and little mobile signal locally actually added to the getaway experience and cocooned us even more. Just what we needed. Can't recommend it highly enough.

- Mrs Lancaster, December 2018

“Brilliant location, lots of nice pubs and walks in the surrounding area.”

Easy access to shops which are open till a decent time. The cottage was extremely cosy, warm and well equipped, we enjoyed the welcome basket of food and especially the logs provided for the wood burner. We will definitely recommend to others.

- Mr Wain, December 2018

“Lovely warm well equipped cottage.”

Lots of little extras.
Lovely village, had a great meal at the George Inn which was dog friendly. Would definitely recommend this cottage.

“We arrived later than expected after a challenging journey and owl cottage couldn’t have been more welcoming!”

It was warm and the lamps were already on.
There was a lovely welcome hamper in the kitchen and lots of thoughtful touches throughout the cottages. The owners seem to have thought of everything.
The beds are so comfortable!
WIFI would be a great addition as I was unable to get a signal from EE unless nearer the village centre. My friend was able to get a signal from O2 though.
It’s a fantastic location; lovely village and perfect base to enjoy the rest of the beautiful Peaks. We would like to return and would definitely recommend to others!

“A beautiful, very comfortable, well equipt cottage.”

Very thought owners have everything covered in the welcome pack to the baskets of things you may have forgotten Owl Cottage is in a central location for visiting all parts of Peak district. Great fish and chips and friendly pub. Easy access to foot paths for dog walks. We very much hope to revisit Owl Cottage again.

About the location

TIDESWELL

Buxton 9 miles; Bakewell 9 miles.

The village of Tideswell stands in the heart of the Peak District National Park. Famous for its fine church dedicated to St John the Baptist, known as "The Cathedral of the Peak", the village is also noted for its well dressing and carnival wakes. There is excellent walking with rugged peaks to the north, gentle hills and dales to the south and Millers Dale just outside the village. Mam Tor and Castleton are only a few miles away and the popular Spa town of Buxton is within a 15 minute drive. Tideswell has many fine country inns, a chemist, butchers, bakers and much more including a convenient supermarket open daily until 10pm. The pretty little market town of Bakewell is also just a short drive away and well worth a visit.
